College Course on the Prison & Foster Care Connection

Some college courses go above and beyond; like a special Directed Study Political Science class at the University of California, Berkley. Their weekly topics include "Fundamentals of the Foster Care System," "Links between Prison & Foster Care," "Racial & Ethnic Disparities in the Foster Care System," "Life after Foster Care."

Even if you can't attend UC Berkley next semester, you can still check out their class topics and posts at http://lifetimesentence.tumblr.com/. It includes all kinds of resources for families involved with the foster care system, including national foster care advocacy publications and ways for allies to get involved!
